Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 252 Ambush
"Don't mention it, now we are poor children without an owner. We are used as cannon fodder for others. They have all returned to Taiyuan, and we are still stuck here alone. What are the outposts... You still have the heart to mention other people's generals."

"I saw that mighty bearded general by the drawbridge the other night. It was scary."

"I saw it too, it's so powerful! It's like a god descending from the earth."

The twelve-member patrol team walked loosely while chatting.

Suddenly, a faint and shocking voice came slowly.

"Huh? What's that? An earthquake?"

"Ah, no, could it be..."

"Cavalry! Cavalry! It's the cavalry of the brigade..."

Before the soldier finished speaking, an arrow flew obliquely and hit his throat. He couldn't even cry out, and fell to the ground, blood instantly staining the ground.

"Cavalry! There is an enemy cavalry attack! Ah..."

Almost in an instant, Zhao Dezhao's Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty came to the front, and the few patrol soldiers who hadn't been hit by arrows just now were split in half by the cavalry's long knives.

On the other side, the troops led by Jiang An also made a semicircle and killed them from the middle of the town.

On this side are the infantry, who bully closer and kill more ruthlessly.

The entire Fengyuan Town was completely surrounded, and the Song army was relentless, with 5000 men against [-], plus the difference in force between the two sides.

For a while, the ghosts and wolves howling when the Northern Han army was killed, Fengyuan Town became a slaughterhouse.

"I surrender, don't kill me..."

"I have admired Huaxia since I was a child, I love Da Song, don't kill me..."

More and more desperate soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty fell to their knees and surrendered, crying heartbreakingly.

Shi Yuanliang curled his lips in disdain, suddenly worried that Zhao Dezhao would soften his heart, so he turned to look at him.

Zhao Dezhao shook his head.

"This is just the beginning, now is the punishment phase, not the time to accept surrender."

He suddenly raised his voice, "Soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty! As for the Northern Han people, they will be killed without mercy!"

The soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty, who were extremely brutal a few days ago, are now suffering the same fate.

at the same time.In the large tent of the Northern Han Army in Fenzhou.

Liu Youhu and counselor Kan Jun sat opposite each other.

Due to the losing streak and Chen Li being beheaded, Liu Youhu didn't dare to return to Taiyuan Mansion right now.

"Commander! Let's retreat to Fenzhou! The Song army must not know about it. How about we make a surprise attack while they are on their way to Taiyuan Mansion?"

The two discussed in secret for a while,
Liu Youhu asked his loyal warrior Huo Yan to select [-] Northern Han warriors to attack Zhao Dezhao.

Huo Yan is one of the eighteen warriors of the Northern Han Dynasty, ranking third.

He is not only brave, but also gloomy. He is considered to be a more courageous and resourceful all-around talent in the Northern Han Dynasty. In order to cooperate with him, Liu Youhu specially sent two other eighteen warriors to assist him.

After selecting the manpower, Huo Yan took Liu Da, Cheng Yang, two warriors, and two thousand elite cavalry from the Northern Han Dynasty to attack the Song army that night.

However, they thought they were doing it seamlessly, but Zhao Dezhao's intelligence department immediately learned the details.

"General Shi, are you sure this time?"

"Your Highness, the last general has already made all preparations and dared to issue a military order."

Faced with Shi Yuanliang's impassionedness, Zhao Dezhao was relieved.

Shi Yuanliang had surveyed the terrain many times in the past, expected to determine the foothold and attack point of the Northern Han army, and made preparations early.

There was no cavalry in this battle, and all infantry fought. First, to avoid casualties of their own cavalry and horses, and second, to train the infantry's tactics of breaking cavalry.

The cavalry of the Northern Han Dynasty was no match for Zhao Dezhao's Modao infantry.

In the evening, the Northern Han army arrived, and their foothold happened to be at the location chosen by Shi Yuanliang.

Zhao Dezhao and Shi Yuanliang looked at each other, and Zhao Dezhao's heart was full of admiration for the God of War.

Prestige is not rumored, Shi Yuanliang's ability is indeed very remarkable.

Zhao Dezhao remembered that when he came here just now, he felt that he was not high enough for him, and now he felt how wrong he was.

The foothold of the Northern Han people was thirty miles outside Longzhou City, in a depression at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by rocks and trees.

Only this depression can hide people.

The cavalry of the Northern Han Dynasty who came from afar must first find a place to repair and replenish water and grass to eat and drink. This place must be hidden and not known.

Otherwise, if Song Jun came to sit on the sidelines, wouldn't he be the head sent to his door.

If there is a foothold, it can be guaranteed not to be discovered or disturbed. After repairing, the Northern Han cavalry will be [-] wild wolves, and they will be invincible and unstoppable.

But if the whereabouts are known, the common people will be fine. If the song army finds out the news, not only will they lose their hands first, but it will also be very dangerous.

It was getting late at this time, two thousand cavalry rode lightly and came to the depression.

The person in charge of responding was Feng Zhi.

This person hated Song Jun and Zhao Dezhao so much that he took the initiative to lead the way.

"General Huo Yan, this place is a place to rest and recuperate. Before it is dark, quickly ask the warriors to start a fire and barbecue, and rest for a night."

Huo Yan nodded and passed the order.

Some of his personal soldiers had sent him roasted dried meat and a water bottle for him to enjoy.

Huo Yan is eight feet five feet tall and weighs two hundred catties. He wields a Xuanhua ax weighing 58 catties. He is one of the most valiant warriors under Liu Youhu in the Northern Han Dynasty.

For 20 years, Huo Yan ran between the Northern Han Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty, killing countless people.

Among them, the majority of them were Han Chinese and Northern Han people in Longde Army.

In his eyes, the Han generals have no strength, and they rely on specialization to take advantage of the officials. They fight like chickens and dogs, and they are defeated in one blow.

So this dispatch of troops is naturally a sure thing.

"Liu Da, take a hundred cavalry on patrol first, Cheng Yang, you and I will accompany General Feng Zhi to talk about tomorrow's surprise attack."

Feng Zhi was so grateful that he sat down with Cheng Yang, drinking and eating barbecue with a wine bag, while flattering Huo Yan.

Liu Da was cursing in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak out, and led his people to Taniguchi.

One of his entourage said, "General Liu, Marshal Liu knows that you and Cheng Yang are not on good terms, but he wants to send him with you. Today, I have to bear with it and wait until I have done my service and go back."

Liu Da snorted angrily, "We all know that the Han army is like chickens and dogs, with no fighting power at all. If I have made meritorious service, why won't he not make meritorious service..."

"Don't talk about these annoying things, come here, bring wine bags and barbecue."

One of his subordinates said, "General, do you want to pretend to make a patrol first?"

"No need! We've been traveling so secretly, I don't believe that the people of Song Dynasty will find out, besides, so what if we find out, at worst, the massacre is just a day earlier."

Liu Da poured all his anger on the barbecue and wine.

He ordered a hundred of his men to rest on the spot, and started to eat and drink barbecue while catching cold.

The Northern Han army had always lived in the grasslands, so they were completely unfamiliar with the mountains, forests, and trees here, so they didn't even scout nearby.

They all sat down and chewed.

In the surrounding woodland, countless pairs of eyes gradually appeared. Everyone held their breath and approached slowly.
